Continuing our look at some of last year’s shortlisted Design Awards entries, this bathroom by SHH proved to be a real style highlight in a ‘green’ new-build


AS


the launch of the Design Awards 2011 nears, we thought it the right time to take a look at some of the entries from last year that came within a whisker of making it into the final three in their category.


Designed by David Spence and Pawel Nawojczyk at architectural practice and design consultancy SHH, this master ensuite bathroom is part of a new-build 3,000 sq ft house that answered a brief to provide an eco-conscious, light-filled family home. The bathroom used the same white and wood material palette as the rest of the house, with bespoke joinery in dark-stained oak (used elsewhere as flooring) and ceramic floor-tiles, as used in the ground-floor hall. Two freestanding vanity unites feature white ‘city’ basins with chrome fittings, with a freestanding hydro massage tub from VitrA’s Ross Lovegrove-designed Istanbul Collection at the centre. Three full-height windows behind the


tub are in sandblasted glass to provide privacy, whilst toughened safety glass panels separate out the WC and shower units. Two sides of the shower unit – which contained a Villeroy & Boch shower tray - are in white back-painted glass. Opposite the tub are three doors leading to the built-in and very well-ventilated wardrobe, which opens into the bathroom area at the client’s request. The green credentials throughout the


whole house are extensive and include solar panels, a geo-thermal heat pump, rainwater harvesting system which re-uses water for irrigation and WC flushing, improved building fabric U-values and energy-efficient lighting. designer
